A grand view of the tree-studded rises and benches, giant plateaus, blue-hued mesas and buttes that extend from the skirts of Bryce into the Grand Staircase, as far as the eye can see. Navajo Mountain lies 80 miles away on the Arizona border, but even that’s not the furthest visible point. On clear days you can see 160 miles to Arizona’s Black Mesas.
A short walk from here leads to another overlook at Piracy Point, and though it’s not much different, the walk among the deep-green, vanilla-scented pines is a great chance to stretch your legs before getting back in the car. You’ll also find toilets here, but no running water.
